What animals do wolves (I don't mind what species) feed on? What do they mostly/don't eat much of?
I need to know what they mostly eat, & what they eat the least of (but still eat it sometimes).
Sorry if my wording is a bit confusing. =) But thanks!

"Wolves primarily feed on medium to large sized ungulates (up to the size of bison 10–15 times larger than themselves[26]), though they are not fussy eaters. Medium and small sized animals that may supplement the diet of wolves include marmots, hares, badgers, foxes, weasels, ground squirrels, mice, hamsters, voles and other rodents, as well as insectivores. They frequently eat waterfowl (particularly during their moulting period and winter, when their greasy and fatty meat helps wolves build up their fat reserves) and their eggs.[122][105] When such foods are insufficient, they will prey on lizards, snakes, frogs, rarely toads and large insects as available. In times of scarcity, wolves will readily eat carrion, visiting cattle burial grounds and slaughter houses.[122] Wolf packs in Astrakhan will hunt Caspian seals on the Caspian Sea coastline.[123] Some wolf packs in Alaska and Western Canada have been observed to feed on salmon.[124] Cannibalism is not uncommon in wolves; during harsh winters, packs often attack weak or injured wolves, and may eat the bodies of dead pack members.[125][100][126] However, they are not known to eat their young as coyotes sometimes do.[84] Humans are rarely, but occasionally preyed upon (see Attacks on humans).[127][128][129][130] Wolves will supplement their diet with fruit and vegetable matter; they willingly eat the berries of mountain ash, lily of the valley, bilberries, blueberries and cowberry. Other fruits include nightshade, apples and pears. They readily visit melon fields during the summer months.[125] Wolves can survive without food for long periods; two weeks without food will not weaken a wolf's muscle activity.[35]
